[Spread-users] Re: SP_scat_multicast not sending the entire message

[Yair Amir]

Hi,

My understanding is that if it is a non-blocking call (which in the
case of the Spread library it should be as far as I know) then the call
should not return with a partial write.

I remember that some very old Linux version had a bug in this regards which
I pointed to Don Becker and he fixed, but that was many years ago.

So, in my opinion, if a partial write occurs on a blocking call
then that is a bug in the OS. What am I missing?

Cheers,

	:) Yair.
